What SCSI controller are you working with? Some have capabilities of overriding the motherboard BIOS.
Some SCO versions allow you to escape out of the install script on the CD to run from memory. Not sure what versions and whether yours is one.

pnpbios
PNPBIOS(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual PNPBIOS(4)
NAME
pnpbios -- support for embedded devices on the motherboard
DESCRIPTION
The pnpbios driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS supports ``Plug and Play BIOS Specification''. It assigns
ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports, and memory region) to each device and activates it.
If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without causing conflict with other devices in the system, the device will not be acti-
vated and will be unavailable to programs.
CAVEATS
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices. The pnpbios driver will find all devices reported by the ``Plug and Play
(PnP)'' BIOS and try to activate them all.
There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device. The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is no provision
for manual override.
